XD9-SC

I love macro but found I didn't have the patience to do it myself.

That was my thought also - XD.

The firing pin dents look glock but the sights do not...

I currently have a lower end slr, keep thinking about upgrading to something along the lines of a cannon t2i or 60d but every time I think of spending the money I just cant help but think about what kind gun I could get for the same amount

I plan on setting up my stuff and taking a few new pictures of the new 380, I tried to get a shot down the barrel last time but had poor lighting,


I really like this photo though.

What kind of glock do you have? I haven't seen one with the firing pin indicator before...

This is what the back of my slide looks like (stock photo...not my Glock)



ETA: Here is the back of an XD.

AddyLO... NOW YOU'VE DONE IT !!! Congrats !
I'm wondering, if we could have board space for " Photography " (Gun Related ) I know we have a sect. for "Show me pics & vids, of our guns, rifle and ranges ...etc. BUT... I'm talking about, . pics, related to firearms, such as yours. (With the camera work, as topic)

I Currently have:
Canon 40D ((and.. old film types: Topcon Uni, Canon EOS 630, Canon Elan 7E))
W/EFS 17-85 stab. macro, 28-135 stab., Canon speedlite 430ex, & Battery grip BG-E2.

I like your idea and shots !!

Mac

Just a quick tip for those interested in macro photography but without wanting to drop big money on a DSLR and expensive macro lens. MANY small point-n-shoot cameras take GREAT macro photos if you use the macro setting in the camera. The photo I posted earlier of all the spent .40-cal cases was taken with a Canon Powershot S410 Digital Elph that is about 6 or 7 years old and "only" 4 megapixels. The secret with any macro photography is lighting, composition, and most importantly a TRIPOD. But even the tripod doesn't have to be horribly expensive. I used a $25 "Gorilla pod" with that S410 for the cases photo. This is my basic small items camera set up I use for taking pics of small gun parts and other misc. junk I sell on TGT.com, eBay, craigslist etc. Like AddyLO, I also have a DSLR with a Sigma macro lens (90mm f2.8 on Nikon DSLR). But for basic shots, the point-n-shoot camera is easier and quicker to set up and use.

Of course, with the DSLR and macro lens you can get more creative with depth of field etc. And ring flash or multiple off-camera flash set ups only add to the flexibility.

I LOVE that noise from my D2H (I totally geek out on that) ....

Closest many of us will get to "shooting" with a machine gun.

Friend of mine and fellow semi-pro photog made his newborn baby wake up from sleep and start crying the first time he took her photo with his D2H scared the heck out of the poor little thing

This is heading towards the off topic Forum unless there are more gun pic posted than photo related posts! More pics people!

With a Fuji F200EXR through a telescope. With my camera phone

F200 again, not very pretty I know but I was trying to get the "Dragon Skin" texture of the grips. Pretty (but off topic) E-510 in the texas hill country (no post-processing) My wife on a rock at the base of enchanted rock, w/E-510 (no post processing)

OK, here's the same shot as my original but from the business end of my beloved XD9-SC.

And before someone cries foul over the chambered cartridge... it's an A-Zoom snap cap.

That's the money shot! I love that front view. Should be a poster.
fwiw, my degree plan was photo.
